To commemorate its 60-year anniversary, Matchbox, from Mattel, is kicking off a three-month national campaign that will include the Matchbox Heroes Wanted Sweepstakes with a $60,000 college scholarship award and a national retail promotion for fans to purchase Matchbox die-cast vehicles for 60 cents for a limited time at participating retailers now through March 10.
The Matchbox Heroes Wanted Sweepstakes calls on parents to celebrate the heroic attributes of their children by submitting a picture and caption of their hero-in-training dressed as their favorite real-life icon. Submissions will be showcased on the Matchbox Heroes Wanted Facebook gallery and are automatically entered to win a $60,000 college scholarship. Parents with children between the ages of 3 and 10 can enter the contest now through May 13. Sixty prize pack giveaways will be awarded weekly consisting of a Matchbox-branded gift box, a personalized photo-frame thank you card, and four heroic Matchbox vehicles. To learn more about the contest and read stories from the heroes that inspired Matchbox vehicles, visit www.Matchbox.com/Heroes.
